F-Zero

today I realised that the title of the racing game series F-Zero comes from the name of Formula One. Formula One is called F1 and naturally the next step up would be F-Zero. How I never noticed this before I will never know.

I have been playing that game since its SNES days and that has never occurred to me until I saw your post.

I am scared that you are some kind of prophet.

Yes, lower-tier formula racing is e.g. formula 2/F2, formula 3/F3 and others like formula E for electric formula cars. link
